Could be. Could be Jupiter. Could be Venus. Where you were when you took this, what time it was, which way you were facing, what focal length you were shooting at, are all questions which could help identify this object.

If it is an oof star, then other nearby stars should look similar no? Or do you have none to compare it to?

Looks OOF slightly, but is most likely a (serious) mis-colimation issue...which is nearly impossible to get done properly on a NS4...

Was there any processing to this?
Is it straight from cam? RAW?
Are you doing ANY form of guiding?
All of these questions could have answers for causing this effect..

Do you have a link to a larger versions(or a 50-100% crop posted here would help..)??

A little sharpening and some crop work. I was using a guide scope but did have a little wind and suspect i was getting some shake. Plus it was coooooollllldddd. As for files I did shoot in raw, but erased all data as I was irritated at the picture. (I should not have) It was shot in the area of Orion but have little knowledge of space and its wonders.

Looks like a slightly OOF, bright star. One bright enough to cause easily visable yet distorted diffraction spikes from something in the optical path and/or atmospheric distortions. Sometimes it happens that your shooting right into the Jet Stream and funny things can happen between temperature layers
